can't you just drag and drop the .exe file of the game you want to play onto the DosBox.exe??
can't say i'm running OSX but a simple icon drag/drop works for me.
if that doesn't help, try reading the FAQ.

I READ THE FUCKING FAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. Just frustrating that they allow a download for Mac OS X, but don't have anything on how to work it on OS X in the FAQ, read me, or the website.

Here is how I would do it on linx, I'm gonna pretend that you have everything actual installed somehwere.
You need to open up a terminal window (you know how to do that in osx?)
type "cd /path-to/dosbox/"
type "./dosbox"

I have no idea how to open a terminal window.
I am using your directions in addition to Google to try and figure this out though, so thank you in advance.

Dudes, for DOSBox, Download a progra, called D-Fend: http://members.home.nl/mabus/
It's a frontend for DOSBox, which means it provides a windows based erm, window for you to use it with, and it's much clearer and simpler to use. Just make sure you have DOSBox already installed first.
Thanks, nice list of games. I was thinking about Terminal Velocity yesterday and I can't find my old copy. Now if only you could order them all in a DVD set.

anyone having problem with not having enough EMS mem? This has been a PITA for all the lucas arts games i downloads. Since i can't get into DOS anymore i have no way of freeing up the mem it needs.
